My passion for Visual Media has led to pursuits in film, television, painting, photography and puppetry. I am currently the writer and producer for an international sports recap show called "This Week in WWE". Currently, I work at an international sports entertainment company as an Associate Producer II. My ever-evolving duties range from producing international announcers during monthly Pay-Per-Views, to writing and producing my own :46 minute weekly recap show that broadcasts to 7 countries including Japan, Myanmar, and Singapore. My additional roles include producing athletes backstage at our live events, and coordinating international broadcasts. Outside of that company, I am a co-producer on an independent film, for whom I recently established an LLC and obtained fiscal sponsorship under the International Documentary Association. For fun, I am a cinematographer for a bi-monthly Drag Cabaret show. You can also find me painting with watercolors, drinking black coffee, and petting dogs I pass on the street. In the past I have worked for Ken Burns as an Intern and Freelance Editor on projects like the Central Park Five. I have also had photography published in books like Monsters by Kathryn Briggs, and Travels with Casey by Benoit Denizet-Lewis. Talk to me! I can be reached at x. I’m always happy to discuss freelance opportunities.

I'm an ex-communications consultant-turned freelancer. I've got loads of experience in documentary films - from short form to feature, as well as working on a number of music videos. I work mostly as an editor, but if you ask me I think editors are the real story-tellers in the film world! I've got a passion for travel, and have lived abroad in both the United Kingdom (4 years) and Norway (1 year). I love cross cultural stories, especially ones that involve art. I write for a digital film magazine called Verite (www.veritefilmmage.com) and love the idea that learning about and experiencing art should be an open opportunity for everyone in this world - art is how we tell our stories and experience our shared histories and it couldn't be more important to living in a harmonious, multi-cultural world community. I'm currently based just outside NYC, working as a freelance editor and film journalist and constantly on the look-out for new video journalism opportunities.

My name is Kenneth Klemens, I am a multimedia producer and photojournalist focusing on short documentary films in the feature and news genres. My passion is photography, specifically its unique ability to tell a story with a silence and stillness that no other medium can. I held an internship at the Cape Argus Newspaper in Cape Town, South Africa for four months as a news photographer. I believe a story is best delivered when shown rather than told. Visual journalism, bringing my audience to a place or event is what I try to do with each story. I am a University of Connecticut graduate of 2015 and I am currently freelancing for multiple organizations at UConn. I'd like the opportunity to work on a creative team at some publication or website and collaborate with others in editorial work and content gathering.

If I had to sum my life up with one word it would be passionate. Film and television is a process that I thoroughly enjoy being a part of. There is nothing more exciting than capturing the world and making it into something that is worth watching. I am truly passionate about my career and learning new things about it. I’ve dedicated my life to providing professional video services; weddings, music videos, commercials, news stories, documentaries, short films, live sporting events, family outings, live concerts, behind the scenes, and even just a fun trip to the local zoo. Whenever I find downtime I’m usually busy perfecting my passion, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity of making it my career.
